On my Windows Vista Ultimate laptop, I have two partitions one for Windows OS and other for all my documents. I use Carbonite service for online backup of all my documents in D drive. My daily internet use includes downloading very huge files and deleting them very often. When trying to delete or write any new content, I get the error ‘The file or disk structure is corrupted and unreadable’. 

The temporary fix was to do a Check Disk Chkdsk ( scandisk ) from Windows. But, it would only schedule it at restart of computer because it prompts drive is in use. And this happens again and again. After some research, ‘ This behavior can occur if the NTFS volumes’ Master File Table (MFT) is corrupted. NTFS supports case-sensitive (POSIX) file names, but Chkdsk does not check file names in case-sensitive mode.’

To resolve this issue, run check disk and then back up the drive that contains the corrupted file. Reformat the volume, and then restore from the backup.

After installing Steam on another computer and while launching it I got the error – steam.exe (main exception): unable to load library Steam.dll .

I did some research and have uninstalled and tried installing again and again but still the same issue. Some forums even recommended that I need to copy files from disc onto Steam installed folder. I even made sure none of the Programs mentioned in Steam Support are interfering with the installation. I have changed my Bitdefender firewall to permit Steam exclusively, but it failed too.

Finally, I realized the application blocking Steam to connect to its network was Peer Guardian. From the task manager, I have closed ‘pg2.exe’ and I was able to run the Steam application properly. You can even see the Peer Guardian Logs and allow the connection to Steam servers.
